Episode notes

Alexa, here's a fun one. Tell me your super, I sound like I'm talking to the Amazon Alexa. That's going to be real frustrating for you. My parents have an Alexa. They're constantly telling it to shut up when I'm on the phone. Oh, my gosh. We don't need to know the weather. It needs to be more specific to a device instead of a human. Because it's a human name. People try to give me commands sometimes as a joke. Yeah. There's room for probably some innovation there as well.

Alexa Roman motivates us to prove the value of design and contribute to it every single day. She encourages us to always be learning new things since designers work across many different fields. She inspires us to get more excited about analytics and measuring our designs. She also challenges us to think about what we want on our tombstones...while we’re still this side up.
